    If the zip is original to the jacket, that is a very early 50's production. The repair on the bottom hole looks like it was done without the use of a gimp. However, the jacket looks very well done. The design kind of reminds me of a Californian. I have a nice Californian with those "football"...

    Can someone post pictures of a dry (but not cracked) leather jacket that needs conditioner vs one that does not need it?

    Friend, I have heard that before. However, I have used it for more than 40 years with no problems whatsoever. Industry tanning professionals who actually work in leather for generations only recommend beef fat for conditioning leather. Even famous jacket makers admit that most leather...

    I did actually have seen that brand before. It was a little too expensive for me. However, I was able to locate a NOS Eddie Bauer for 40 USD in my size. The fabric looks good and the build looks strong. Thanks for sharing.

    The best conditioner I have ever used is Tallow(beef fat.) Manteca de rez. Old master craftsmen ingredient. If you have questions about which name brand to use. There have been several threads on this subject. You will be surprised at how many skin care tallow is actually used.

    Excellent work! By the way, can you share the name brand on that Rob Roy/Buffalo plaid? I am in the market for a thinner shirt. So many choices out there. Knowing your taste, probably pick one of the better ones. LOL.

    I would keep the same color. I have never seen this color in a Vanson. By the lighting, it reminds me of my older LW car coat tan in HH. 4.5 lbs. is a little light for this size jacket. However, I think is sturdy enough for anything thrown it's way.

    I have seen these short "Einstein" type. They are very light and have no lining. Beautiful craftsmanship. These cape skin jackets are a beautiful thing to see.

    Totally agree with this principle. When I purchase a jacket, I always picture wearing a second layer. One of my favorite jacket cuts is the Car Coat. They are very functional and practical. They wear nice dress up or when riding a bike. Car coats were popular in the '30s. To this date, they...
